Secrets

As soon as I sat down to dinner I could tell my parents were upset. “Something has happened,” my father admitted. “And it’s pretty bad. I’ve been fired.” “What are we going to do?” I whispered. Nobody answered. Cathy’s life changed forever after that night. She switches to a new school, and must cope with her parents’ depression and anger as her father is turned away from one job after another. Her new life holds some happy surprises though. Cathy fits in with the kids at school, lands a job of her own and realises her friend Benedict is becoming more than just a friend.
